ABOUT US.

We work with people who have a whole range of serious, life-altering physical injuries, as well as those suffering debilitating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression.

The difference that Brazilian jiu-jitsu can make is nothing short of incredible. Physically BJJ is brilliant because you can adapt it to your abilities, and you get a workout that puts every part of your body on red alert. And the accompanying psychological benefits are something everyone notices as soon as they start training.

Whether you are diagnosed with PTSD, or simply suffering from a low mood or lack of purpose, when you spend a tough hour training, the volume on all your problems gets turned right down.

FRIENDS AND ATHLETES.

The number of Brazilian jiu-jitsu academies around the world that are opening their doors to REORG is growing and more are becoming part of the REORG family. What started as a small presence in the UK has rapidly grown and spread as far afield as New Zealand and the USA.

The key to success is our incredible supporters who understand what we are trying to do and who make REORG possible. We work with some of the biggest names in jiu-jitsu, and we are lucky enough to count on the support of Roger Gracie, widely considered the greatest BJJ competitor of all time.

Also Master Jean Jacques Machado, who has among his illustrious list of students the jiu- jitsu pioneer Eddie Bravo and the karate legend Chuck Norris. We also work with the We Defy Foundation, which has been helping injured veterans train in jiu-jitsu in the USA for the past five years. While we are of course very happy to work with big names, REORG isn’t about star power.

It is about what jiu-jitsu can do for the individual, for your physical and mental health and for your sense of community. So if you or your academy would like to become affiliated with REORG and join our family please message directly and we look forward to hearing from you.
